Thank-you for posting this thread.

I have really enjoyed watching this take shape.

It is very interesting and informative.

Thanks chaps.

The canvas is muslin cloth (previously used to filter honey as it happens) draped over a plasticard structure to give the frames.  Then slapped with loads of PVA glue.  The glue soaks into the muslin and stiffens it nicely.  I'll probably cut some of the strucutre away inside and backfill it with something (possibly miliput or DAS clay) to make it lass bulky and more robust for casting.

The steering wheel will be a pain, they always are...  I think I'll laser cut a frame then make the rim with wire.

Thanks!

I've a few things I need to be doing.  A Sidecar for an italian motorbike first.
I also have several nearly finished projects that I never quite get around to...

I need to take another look at the Oxford carrier but that needs tracks and they can be tedious...

I get distracted quite easily though.  So maybe a Seep?

Hi Rich!

WW2 I suppose.
Is the Italian motorcycle model already existing?

That is a very weird effect on the bike.

The DUKW looks great.

No idea what's going on but it looks fine now!  Bear in mind the bike is only 15mm high and 30mm long!
